There are enough "developers" who have no idea VS even has a debugger so I wouldn't fret too much if I was you - many of the querists in QA think getting all the syntax errors out is debugging it ...

Of course since I maintain our automated build process, I have a tendency to scream at the top of my lungs "There won't be ANY. WIRED. WARNINGS. EVER!". I may or may not be wearing night cream on my face at the time.

I’m a law school dropout. I’m not too passionate about law bound topics these days but I can relate to them easily nevertheless
I’m a bit confused about the terminology used to designate the chambers of the American parliament. You have Senate which is one chamber and then you have the House which is the other chamber. The house is short for House of Representatives. And you also have the Congress which I’m guessing is another word for parliament. Is that so?

The Legislative Branch of U.S. Government is also called "Congress" - comprises both the House of Representatives and the Senate.

Thanks! I’m half embarrassed to ask a question like this but it’s one of those things you can always google on the internet but the answer doesn’t get to stick with you because there is no human factor involved in passing the information down to you

Yes. The Senate is the upper chamber with 100 senators (two per state). Respectively the lower house has 435 representatives.

Our Senate is comprised of two Senators from each State. This is set in the US Constitution. Our House of Representatives is supposed to be 1 per xx number of people in each State per the US Constitution but the total number of representatives is set by Law. In other words, it would take a Constitutional Amendment to change the Senate but not to change the House of Representatives. We really need to increase the size of the House to reflect the disparity in representation ratios between Wyoming, which is our least populous State, and California, our most populous State.

The amendments is how you patch the Constitution, the later being some sort of OS and the laws - apps running on it

Do you mean to add more representation to Wyoming?
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

10% of the population represents 41% of the power in the house according to something I read a while back.

Covers more that just what you are asking, but ... Laws and Sausages - Lesson One: Part 1[^] is a pretty details coverage of how the US system(s) are supposed to work together.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I’m only interested in the basic stuff, just enough to make sense of the English spoken news broadcasted on tv

Believe me, many American's couldn't tell you the difference between the House, Senate, and Congress.

So MS has slowly but surely been migrating all Windows settings (control panel and beyond) to this new UI type whose name changes every few months so I won't even try to name it, all under Settings...and then search for it, otherwise if you just try to walk the hierarchy you'll never find it as it seems to change from one update to the next.
So yesterday I tried to change a system from DHCP to static IP. No problem, I've done that a million times on different systems.
But now the familiar TCP/v4 dialog box has been replaced with "one of those"...and while my subnet is typically set to 255.255.0.0 (yes, rather than 255.255.255.0), I did not notice that the caption for that field is asking for the "Subnet prefix length", rather than Subnet Mask (as has been the case since Windows started supporting TCP/IP). Couldn't save. Just a generic message, "Unable to save", or words to that effect, in red, near the top of the window. Didn't say which field was in error, and the message was completely useless. It's only when I compared with another Windows system that I realized that instead of having 255.255.0.0, my other (working) system was using 16. Changed that, saved, everybody can ping each other in both directions. Good to go.
a) I'm not sure why MS felt that change in format was necessary
b) Would it have killed them to
(i) show a better error message
(ii) failing that, place a red "*" next to the field in error as they're doing everywhere else these days?

Windows 11 went back to the traditional subnet mask.

DHL went back to Monday again.
Ten minutes later, DHL threw the package at the door and ran away.
Fortunately, it was well packaged, and undamaged - so I have a watch on my wrist again!

And here I thought I was getting a rant about how Microsoft added their new icons to the Courier New font.
